Agenda for the hour:
"Documentary films: a means for reconciliation and justice? The case of Kenya"

The 2007 presidential election in Kenya resulted in a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis that has not yet been resolved. International, regional, bilateral and national initiatives have failed. Recently, the International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, arrived in Kenya to request an investigation into suspected crimes against humanity. So far, Kenya has failed to conduct its own effective investigation into the matter. This seminar will look into documentary films as a means for reconciliation and justice, based on the experiences of Kiai and Hannan.

Organisers: The Norwegian Peacebuilding Centre/Norsk Ressurssenter for Fredsbygging (Noref) and International Law and Policy Group (ILP).
